Relevant Information:

The feature for which C121 is known,
the brown patch behind the gill cover, does not appear until the
fish are around 4 months old and about 3cm in size. Aquarium
Care: This is akin to most of this genus, very peaceful,
and would be best housed with small to medium sized tankmates
such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios or in a species tank for breeding
purposes. Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will
be happier in a group. Diet: Readily accepts
a mixed and varied diet which includes granular foods, tablet
food, frozen bloodworm and good quality flake to name but a few.
Remarks: This species could be a population of
C. burgessiwhich shows this unique gill pattern
